Policy for standards of equality

Our aim is to work together effectively for fairness within our working environment and in the services we deliver, as we are committed to equality.

We believe that service delivery will be more successful when we work closely with all members of the community we serve. We intend to continue to develop methods based upon achieving equality in all areas of our work.

We provide a mandatory regulatory service and are responsible for the following:

pre-application advice

building regulation applications

building regulation site inspections

co-ordination of street naming and numbering

control of dangerous structures

control of demolitions

access for people with disabilities

building regulation enforcement of unauthorised works

Our aim is to prevent discrimination of any kind and to promote equality opportunities within the service we provide.

Anti-discriminatory practice in building control

Within our building control team, we ensure that we maintain an anti-discriminatory practice according to the following working practices:

we believe that tackling the cause of inequality is better than dealing with the consequences

we are committed to responding to the needs and rights of all members of the community

we are prepared to confront discriminators with the consequences of their actions and behaviours

Equalities complaints

We will deal with every complaint of discrimination seriously and urgently. Please send letters addressed to:
